Welcome Silver Wintersea...
 
I'd like to say you show great courage in sharing your story.  I'm sorry to hear of your loss and the terrible things which you've experienced.  I can't even begin to understand.
 
I can relate though in having years free of panic disorder / ocd and then it rearing it's ugly head in a different form... For me it was after the birth of my second child.. it was a slow slide but eventually it was back and different... my obsessions went haywire... ugh...   I'm not great again.. the odd "glimpse" or "shimmer" of it every once in a while but my life seems to be back on track..
 
That being said yes you can do this again!!  and for whatever reason - maybe hormones?! you're body chemistry is changing again.  You just need to find your "new" balance.  It is like being slapped though.. I was pretty crushed..but I've learned with time that it never really goes away but if managed right you can live a truly amazing life...
 
I look forward to learning more about you!...and I love your pic.

Good evening,
 
I am new to this board.  I have come out of my remission from Ocd, Agoraphobia and now have had Major Depression and an undiagnosed PTSD for a year + following the death of my spouse, a shooting and sexual assault.  I did not realize during my grief period (almost 2 year's) that when I actually started feeling better and the severe depression started to alleviate (now moderate) that my ocd was presenting itself in new paralizing phobias that I have not experienced during the past and that my agoraphobia was creeping back in my life, as well as new anxious type behaviour's and symptoms .
 
I feel like this is quite a slap in the face after enduring all that I have to be seemingly *out of the blue* after several years of therapy & medications to be blessed with another bout of this.  
 
Anyways, I'm sure that I will be discussing more about this in other posts.  Hello to all and Good Luck to all that read this as I did manage a few *great* years 90%+ symptom free, so I know that it is possible :)
 
D.
